Boer balladeer Steve Hofmeyr: more death threats

Today, one year ago:Pretoria, South Africa. source: The Afrikaner Journal. Today a year ago, within minutes after the e-tv programThirdDegree, the facebook page for the popular SA television show was abuzz with comments about the interview.

Debora Patta, the feisty reporter of the very popular news program, had planned to interview several well known persons ‘who'd made racist comments in the recent past’. An ANC youth league representative, Black Management Forum director Manyi and Steve Hofmeyr were amongst persons invited. Only Hofmeyr showed up. He emphasized the black-on-white nature of crime in South Africa (there are 3-million whites and 49-million blacks in SA). He pointing out that a disproportionate number of whites were being murdered in South Africa today. A very heated debate ensued between him and miss Patta, when she tried to imply that Hofmeyr's comments were ‘ludicrous and racist’. Patta is renowned for her biased opinion towards Afrikaners. Hofmeyr had to steer the commentary (time and again) back to the issue at hand and was constantly interrupted by an highly-agitated Patta. He pointed to the fact that this (disproportional-attacks against whites) anomaly is in fact, also a sign of genocide. Moments after the show, the facebook page for Third-Degree was swamped with comments - many threatening the life of the very popular activist, actor singer/songwriter. http://www.facebook.com/pages/3rd-Degree/101541629915235

Hofmeyr, a handsome, virile blonde man in the prime of his life, has a stunning stage-presence and a rather rambunctious personal life which the Afrikaans media loves to describe in the most minute details. He also is one of Afrikanerdom’s most vocal human-rights campaigners on behalf of his own people. One can probably measure this artist’s popularity best by the huge number of death-threats he gets from black-racists – and the similarly popular support he gets from more democratic members of the black community, such as radio DJ Tim Thabete of OFM radio. One fact is also clear: one is never bored around Steve Hofmeyr.

Steve’s recent political-campaign activities to fight for the human rights of his own people, include:

More death threats for Steve Hofmeyr12 Dec 2010 The gifted Afrikaans musician Steve Hofmeyr has created the highest level of anger amongst black SAns this week with his intensely angry outburst over the brutal execution-style murder of Boer child Wilmien Potgieter, 2, slaughtered together with her parents on a Lindley, Free State farm….

background: Black Management Forum director Manyi: The Norwegian government is not happy about the South African president of the Black Management Forum, director-general Manyi: and has sent a diplomatic note protesting his crime: apparently three senior Norwegian diplomats were discussing the black-economic-empowerment programme with ANC-cabinet representatives in March in Pretoria about the ‘problems experienced by Norwegian companies about its cooperation concerning BEE” – and the Norwegians complained that director general Manyi had then made an illegal proposal “which in their own country most certainly would be illegal and a crime”. Director-general Manyi was reportedly ‘dumbfounded’ about this Norwegian reaction, saying he’d dmerely‘offered to provide details about the government’s policy’ and said he ‘saw nothing illegal’ in his proposal at all. Manyi in fact said he was ‘surprised that the Norwegian diplomats would consider this (policy of providing well-paid directorships for leading ANC-members) as a crime…’ http://praag.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&amp%3Bview=article&amp%3Bid=8151%3Anoorwee-stuur-diplomatieke-nota-oor-manyi-se-misdryf&amp%3Bcatid=37%3Asuider-afrika&amp%3BItemid=400

The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943, writing:

'Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actionsaiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups...
